the best cookies ever!

during one of my many wasted hours on pinterest i found this yummy cookie recipe that uses pretzels and had to try it! and by golly am i ever glad that i did. they are sweet and salty, the perfect blend if you ask me :)

don't they look delicious?!? are you salivating a little? i am!

you can find the recipe here

* i only used half the amount of chocolate chips and still found them to be super chocolatey 

i hope you enjoy them! oh and they go really well with a glass of milk! yum!

seven months!

my babe turned seven months old not too long ago, i can't believe how big he's getting. he's a 20 pounder :) and is changing every single day! his love for food outweighs his love for anything else (except his mumma and dada) he's almost crawling and is so so so happy when someone holds his hands so he can stand and dance around. his latest move is the backbend! if he doesn't want to sit or be held watch out! the backbender can squirm away in the blink of an eye, yes he's quick! i can only imagine what it's going to be like when he's actually crawling! this month he's also started teething, for real this time. his two bottom middle teeth are trying to make an entrance and lil madd is not too pleased with the whole ordeal. But as long as i have teething toys cold and ready to go he's pretty content.

goodness gracious i love being this kid's mumma :)

can't wait to see what next month will bring!

cheers!

DIY: Our New Compost

So the hubs wanted to start a compost in our backyard but i didn't want one of the usual large black buckets that everyone else has so we decided to make our very own :) we went on craigslist and bought a dresser for $20. We sanded it, primed it, and painted it red! The hubs took out the bottoms of the drawers and then separated the top of the dresser and added some hinges so we could easily flip open the top and dump in our compost. Here's how it turned out!

the plan is to build a flower bed around the compost and put it right next to our little veggie garden...the backyard is starting to come together folks! The grass is almost there, hopefully not too much longer and we will be out there for most of the summer :)

tootles, kat

six months old already!

i'm a little bit behind on this post... my lil madd hit six months last week, time is flying...seriously it's crazy how quickly these six months have gone by, i swear it was just yesterday that i gave birth ;)

anywhos here he is, my star!

he amazes me everyday, he's so cute i can't stand it! he's constantly smiling and giggling. he tries to eat anything he gets his hands on, and has completely fallen in love with our dog penny.

*he is now eating real foods, he loves bananas and is still trying to decide if he likes yams or not
*he loves to talk, he is now saying dada and mumma
*he is starting to move around a bit on the floor and he just rolled over for the first time TODAY!!! i'm so proud!!!
*and he is hooked on electronics, especially daddy's iphone, it tastes good, makes cool noises, and is fun to look at ;)

i'm so in love, mummahood just seems to get better and better.
hope everyone has a great week!

cheers, kat
